Kennedy charged in California DUI case

Mariners infielder Adam Kennedy, who seems poised to make the Opening Day roster, was charged Wednesday in a two-month-old DUI case in California.

Kennedy was pulled over Jan. 26 in Newport Beach shortly after signing with the Mariners.

Orange County district attorney’s spokeswoman Farrah Emami said Kennedy has been charged with a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence and a misdemeanor count of driving with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit.
